UTILIZAÇÃO DE DUTOS DESCARTADOS DO GASODUTO COARI-MANAUS PARA CONFECÇÃO DE PONTE PROVISÓRIA SOBRE O IGARAPÉ DO CEDRO SEGUNDO A NORMA API 5L X70

Abstract

This study aims to present an alternative construction method using discarded API 5L X70 pipelines from the Coari-Manaus gas pipeline for the construction of a temporary bridge over the Cedro stream in the Amazon rainforest. The bridge facilitates material and worker transportation for the construction of the Compression Station – ECOMP in Juaruna. The ANSYS 8.0 program was used to analyze the structural behavior of a bridge element, applying numerical methods to evaluate stress and deformation in structural components. Additionally, an environmental mitigation proposal is presented to reduce the impact of equipment crossing the Cedro stream, as well as the logistical challenges faced by companies operating in the Amazon region.
